It's not like I've never seen anyway completely naked before, but, um, this is starting to get a little creepy. Every other time something like this has happened, hasn't there been a warning of sometime.

Thought, all things being equal, naked is a lot better than dead.

Being dead is perfectly fine... it's just getting there that's no fun.

[smilesheknows]

Oh! I'm not - my brother died...here, a little while ago. This is a much better alternative.

[jacaranda_honey]

Oh... I suspect that dying here is rather different than dying elsewhere...

[smilesheknows]

That's what it seems like.

[jacaranda_honey]

After all, one does tend to return from the grave here. I cannot imagine that being pleasant for anyone.

[smilesheknows]

No, I can't either. Can we, um, can we not talk about death? It's not a very comfortable subject.

[jacaranda_honey]

What would be more pleasant, then?

[smilesheknows]

I don't know. Tell me about the place you're from?

[jacaranda_honey]

Well... it was an unusual place, a place that was mostly magical in nature. All of us who lived there, we had powers which would be considered supernatural to most people. It was rather behind on the times in terms of science. This world was quite strange to me when I first arrived, being so much different from home...

[smilesheknows]

Powers? I guess after being here, even that isn't too surprising.

[jacaranda_honey]

I'd not expected so many to be in possession of any form of 'unusual' power. However, I shouldn't be very surprised...

This whole world is so different. It's like when we ended up on that bus half way to California.
